A PRODIGIOUS SCHEME.
THE CIGAR MAKERS INT SRNA-
TIONAL UNION PERFECT
A Plan Which. for Monumental
Check. SURPRISES Any thing I'm
tho Gift Enterprise Line.

NEW YORK, May "a Boston spe-
cial saws: The Cigar Makers Interna-
tional Union has perfected scheme
which il proposes to attempt to carry
through and which for monumental
cheek, surpasses anything in the gift
enterprise line sver attempted. In
formation comesfrom member Of the
International Union and appears to be
given with all seriousness. The plan
proposed Is that the government
should loan the Cigar Makers Iutsr-
national Union the sum of SIS, 0O0,0 900
for cooperative purposes for period
Of fifteen years at 10 per cent. per
annum. II this is done, il is proposed
to erect FIVE immense factories, one
each in New York, Chicsgo, Sau
Francisco, Richmond and Key West.
With these factories, it is estimated,
there would be working capacity for
85 900 cigar makers, 5000 packers, 90
600 strippers, 1000 clerks and 500 fore
men. The idea il, of course, to give
the cigar makers moe pay and less
work, aud at the same time provide
the customers with good cigars at a
minimum price. This grand, but
balloonish scheme, the member says,
is really being considered, and the
members OF the union can see no
reason why the government should moi
come forward with the millions needed

cgNERAL SWAIN.
Feasibility Of His Retirement by Special
Act OF Congress.

Act OF Congress
WAsHrNaroN, Nov. 25.-Army officials are
Of the opinion that the Secretary OF War
will recommend to Congress that a bill be
passed to provide for the retirement Of Gem
eral Swain, who is the titular Judge Adj
vocate OF the army, although under SEN
tence of suspension OF court-martial Tor
twelve years, only two years OF which or
whereabouts have been served. This SEN
tence, if it Is to be executed, practically re-
moves the Judge Advertisement from
the active list, for when his time expires he
will have reached the age OF compulsory
retirement. Many in the army who were
not friendly to General Swain, believe
the sentence was ridiculous, and that II he
merited any punishment he had received
quite enough. Aside from any considera-
ton of General Swain himself Us an indi-
yidual the sentence Of the cOurt-martial 10
a great hindrance to the proper admins
tration of of the bureau of Judge Advocate
General and a seriouS embarrassment
to the Secretary of War, as it will be to
all his successors for ten years, unless
something shall be done to relieve the
army. Judge Swain is really Judge Ad-
yocate of the army, but is rendered by the
sentence incapable Of performing any
further service in the army. The deputy
Judge Advocate-Generalh has neither the
title, salary nor privilege Of the Judge Ad-
vocate-General, yet he is called upon to DO
the duties of his chief. This, oil course, Is
as great an injustice as it is an obstacle 70
the proper administration of military JUS
tice. The subject has been called to the
attention OF the President, who now has
the matter under consideration. Some
army officials are of the opinion that the
executive authorities will decide that the
only practical way to relieve the War dc
partment will be to ask Congress to pass
special act to retire General Swain at thu
present time The executive is now with
out legal authority to retire him as he IS en-
titled to his commission and can not be re
tired in the ordinary way until the perio'
of compulsory retirement. The passage o
special act would, Of course, incidental!
be IN the nature of a vindicatiOn OF Gen
eral Swain, but it would also relieve tn
army from very serious embarrassment
which interferes with the proper admins
tration of military justice.
